V I PHIS . AUGUST SIXTH PJNElES ? FIRE DAMAGED City Commission Decides That Further Investiga tion is Necessary before Acting on Proposed Law. An ordinance was presented at last night's meeting of the city comniis siun prohibiting slaughter houses within the city limits and within a melius of three miles outside of th1 city limits. The ordinance provides for a 'fine or imprisonment or both lor violation and becomes effective ;tU days after passage. Each day a slaughter house is maintained in vio lation of the ordinance constitutes a separate offense. The fine is fixed at from $10 to $250 and the jail sen tence at from one to !2 days. Foi cases in which the fine is unpaid pro vision is made for substituting a jail sentence at the rate of $J per day- Considerable discussion took place over the proposed ordinance and it was decided to lay it on the table un til all of the commissioners can inves tigate the matter mare thoroughly and decide whether such an ordinance is necessary. Oimnviss loners Stod dard and Williams were inclined to favor the proposed ordinance, while Ptesidcnt Graiuly strongly opposed its enactment. An improvement district was creat ed including Island avenue fioin the city limits to Adams avenue, a block on Spiuce street and a block on Tenth stieet. This section will be paved with hard surface paving this summer, the resolution creating the district be ing preliminary to advertising for bids. A petition for a sewtfr on the block bounded by Cedar, First, Palmer and Giandy was received last night. This petition was oiiginally presented 'n March, 1920, and relerred back to the petitioners for additional signatures, t'he petition was refeired to the city manager with the purpose of hiiving nim ascertain whether the property owners affected would be willing to pay cash for the improvement. This was done as in issuing bonds for such a small district the added cost amounts to around 20 per cent of the cost of the work and the commission ers thought that several residents would ptobubly pay cash and save tni oxtra cost, while the others could probably borrow to meet their share af the cost und save money in the end as deferred payments on sewer install ments draw interest. An ordinance was also passed lat (.v..iini(r ipirulatinir the storage of gas. The ordinance relates e.-peially to! the storage in grocery stores and otn .:r places where kerosene and oils are .(ften kept in barrels and where it of ten happens that the floors become dightlv oil-soaked. The new law also nings other provisions ut previous or Itnunep into conformity with the sian-!on iard law recommended by the state fire marshall's office. MOS'COW, Idaho. July 20.
